Polyamory & Swinging We realize that polyamory and swinging are two very different things, however they do often overlap. This forum is for the discussion of those overlaps between polyamory & swinging.

Yeah, weird, eh? I answered the questions assuming that it was a perfect world. Mr. and I are definitely not a poly couple in reality, but we grasp the concept of it. I believe that in the right circumstances and with the right group of people involved, it has a lot of potential and makes sense. I doubt that we'll ever find ourselves in such circumstances, though. Without even getting into all the external social bullshit polys have to deal with (families disowning you, losing friends, etc), my relationship with Mr. intuition requires a LOT of my energy. It's not a lack of love to go around, just energy. I would find an arrangement like this draining on my energy reserves whereas serious polys find just the opposite. They would find it to be restorative.

We had discussed the possibility of adding to our relationship, but concluded that - at least at this time - it just wasn't for us. It probably never will be, and I don't have an interest in developing a relationship with anyone else like the one I have with him.

Yep, Dito on Intuition897's last posting...

Based on my results:
71% Poly
86% tolerant of the poly lifestyle
14% just in it for the sex

I'd say the test is a little off on the Poly rating... I'm very tolerant of the idea of a poly relationship and find it hugely interesting, but I know for a fact that I'd go green with envy if my wife were to be emotionally involved with any other person.

But it was fun and that's mostly the idea behind these tests, nice one...

I wouldn't be able to excited about it either way, just one of those things off my radar so to speak.

Fave Non Poly =)
You're 63% Poly =) 77% tolerant of the poly lifestyle =) (But... you're 8% just in it for the sex =))
You're not very poly yourself (and that's cool - there's nothing wrong with monogamy at all =)) and you're awfully tolerant of poly relationships which is a very cool thing =)

On top of that you scored low on the "just want to get laid by everyone" scale and high on the honesty scale - all in all - you're my favorite non poly person today =)

Nice to meet you!

Oh - just so you don't go off wondering - the first question? the one about monogamous cultures? the answer is 16% of recorded cultures have been monogamous - 84% have been non monogamous! how about that? =)

Have a good one =) Gabriel_Night

LM
This is weird...

My numbers were identical to yours...

I guess we'll just have to stay friends

Actually, my poly number was a LOT lower, but still... Pretty creepy... How can we both be 0% into it for the sex??? LM - are we just here to get our hands on your pretzel recipe???

It said I am tolerant of the idea of poly - which I already knew. It isn't for me. My house just isn't big enough. But for people who make it work, good for them

89% Poly
100% Tolerant
13% Sex

Kind of interesting given how comfortable I am in my current male/female relationship. For the most part, though not always, I do like an emtional connection with play partners.

Congratualtions on being a pretty good person =)
Wow. Who'd of thunk it. We have two friend couples that are good friends, we don't play with (unfortunately) who are poly. I can say their kids are some of the most well adjusted, well behaved we've come across. And they are some of the most tolerant people we know, too.

Now us? I've mentioned in other posts that Mrs. WS especially is toward the poly side with relationships we build with others. I definitely love the lifestyle for the social aspect of it. So maybe I am more poly they I thought. :rollseyes

Now I just need to talk to Mrs. WS about those other two women the quiz mentioned.

Mr. WS

You're 78% Poly =) 91% tolerant of the poly lifestyle =) (But... you're 17% just in it for the sex =))

I found this test and the choices I made problematic. For many of the questions the way they were framed and the answers supplied, made it impossible for me to feel certain about THE answer for me. I found truth to some degree or another in two, three, and sometimes all four of the answers. If I were to be able to select more than one of the answers, I probably would have also scored 93% conflicted!

I had fun though too! Make that 94% conflicted.

That was an interesting test. OK Cupid has got some great tests, this was one of the better ones.

What a shock !!!

UOMO (of all people) ... is NON Poly: 46% (w/ 34% just in it for sex).

My scoring the lowest (yet) in this poll is completely inconsistent with my outspoken (& since abandoned) advocacy of "making love" in the lifestyle.

Not quite sure what to make of the results (... or the survey).

I am (it appears) ... a mystery even to myself.
